Appendix F: Locate Proxy Services

Name

xfindproxy: Locate Proxy Services

Synopsis

xfindproxy -manager <managerAddr > -name <serviceName> -server <serverAddr> [-auth] [-host
<hostAddr>] [-options <opts>]

Description

xfindproxy is a program used to locate available proxy services. It utilizes the Proxy Management
Protocol to communicate with a proxy manager. The proxy manager keeps track of all available proxy
services, starts new proxies when necessary, and makes sure that proxies are shared whenever possible.
The -manager argument is required, and it specifies the network address of the proxy manager. The
format of the address is a standard ICE network ID (for example, "tcp/info.x.org:6500").
The -name argument is required, and it specifies the name of the desired proxy service (for example,
"LBX"). The name is case-insensitive.
The -server argument is also required, and it specifies the address of the target server. The format of the
address is specific to the proxy service specified with the -name argument. For example, for a proxy
service of "LBX", the address would be an X display address (e.g, "info.x.org:0").
The -auth argument is optional. If specified, xfindproxy will read two lines from standard input. The
first line is an authorization/authentication name, and the second line is the authorization/authentication
data in hex format (the same format used by xauth). xfindproxy will pass this auth data to the proxy, and
in most cases, will be used by the proxy to authorize/authenticate itself to the target server.
The -host argument is optional. If xfindproxy starts a new proxy service, it will pass the host specified.
The proxy may choose to restrict all connections to this host. In the event that xfindproxy locates an
already existing proxy, the host will be passed, but the semantics of how the proxy uses this host are
undefined.
The -options argument is optional. If xfindproxy starts a new proxy service, it will pass any options
specified. The semantics of the options are specific to each proxy server and are not defined here. In the
event that xfindproxy locates an already existing proxy, the options will be passed, but the semantics of
how the proxy uses these options are undefined.
